11 DESCRIPTION 11.1 Chemical Characteristics MYOVIEW is a kit for the preparation of technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin injection for intravenous use. Technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin is a radioactive diagnostic agent.
Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE MYOVIEW is a kit for the preparation of technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin for injection. Technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin injection is a radioactive diagnostic agent indicated for the following: Myocardial perfusion imaging under rest and/or exercise or pharmacologic stress conditions to delineate regions of reversible myocardial ischemia or infarcted myocardium in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease ( 1.1 ) Assessment of left ventricular function (left ventricular ejection fraction and wall motion) in patients with known or suspected heart disease ( 1.2 ) 1.1 Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Myocardial perfusion imaging under rest and/or exercise or pharmacologic stress conditions to delineate regions of reversible myocardial ischemia or infarcted myocardiu...
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Use appropriate radiation safety measures and aseptic technique during preparation and handling ( 2.1 , 2.3 ) The recommended dose range for MYOVIEW for rest or stress imaging is 185 to 1,221 megabecquerels (MBq) [5 to 33 millicuries (mCi)] by intravenous administration ( 2.2 ) When rest and stress injections are administered on the same day, the first dose should be 185 to 444 MBq (5 to 12 mCi) followed by the second dose of 555 to 1,221 MBq (15 to 33 mCi) given approximately 1 to 4 hours later ( 2.2 ) The recommended dose range for MYOVIEW for ventricular function assessment is 185 to 1,221 MBq (5 to 33 mCi) as an intravenous injection ( 2.2 ) See Full Prescribing Information for instructions for preparation and determination of radiochemical purity ( 2.4 , 2....
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence < 1%) after MYOVIEW injection: Cardiovascular: angina, hypertension, torsades de pointes. Gastrointestinal: vomiting, abdominal discomfort. Hypersensitivity: cutaneous allergy, hypotension, dyspnea. Special Senses: metallic taste, burning of the mouth, smell alteration. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact GE Healthcare at 1-800-654-0118 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Risk with exercise or pharmacologic stress: Continuous cardiac monitoring should be performed in studying patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease ( 5.1 ) When pharmacologic stress is selected as an alternative to exercise, perform the procedure in accordance with the pharmacologic stress agent's prescribing information ( 5.1 ) Appropriate safety measures should be used to minimize radiation exposure to clinical personnel and to the patient consistent with proper patient management ( 2.1 , 5.2 ) 5.1 Risks Associated with Exercise or Pharmacologic Stress Patients evaluated with exercise or pharmacologic stress may experience serious adverse reactions such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypotension, bronchoconstriction, and cerebrovascular re... 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data with technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin use in pregnant women to inform any drug associated risks. Animal reproduction studies with technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin have not been conducted. However, all radiopharmaceuticals have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose. If considering technetium Tc99m tetrofosmin administration to a pregnant woman advise the pregnant woman of risk to the fetus.
Storage
16.2 Storage and Handling Store the kit at 2° to 8°C (36° to 46°F), protected from light. Store the radiolabeled vial at 2° to 25°C (36° to 77°F), using appropriate radiation shielding. Use within 12 hours of preparation.
